Vacation 2013 (Part 4) - Transition Day... Further Explanation

After speaking with my sister in more detail, she let me know that even though her daughter (that Asperger's now autism per DSM-V) enjoyed herself at Disneyland, it was mostly because she knew we were there for a few more days after the change took affect. If we had only been there for a few days, she admitted that she probably would've been extremely stressed with only being able to go on the rides one at a time. For my niece stress can quickly turn to anxiety, which leads to ticks or stimming (self regulating behaviors). It brings out the autism-like behaviors.
